This Saturday is the Indy BackPack Attack backpack giveaway.

Saturday July 26th the Indy BackPack Attack organization will be giving away 5,000 backpacks to under served children in the Central Indiana area.

This a great program for those in need. No child should go without basic school supplies. I love this program! I think it is a great way to help others and there are opportunities to even Volunteer or Donate if you have the resources to do so. -Did you know that80% of the families in Central Indiana can’t afford the basic school supplies that their children need. On average many teachers spend in excess of $500 of their own money for supplies for students. Students with inadequate supplies suffer an unnecessary struggle to keep up with peers.If you are truly a family in need, you may want to check out the BackPack Attack drive this coming Saturday. The Indianapolis BackPack Attack Giveaway Starts at 1:30pm on Saturday July 26th and will go until all backpacks are given away. There are four locations that will be offering this great service -
